Retiring isn't always easy. Especially when your job title is Evil Overlord. Most of the time retirement from that particular position comes on the sharp end of an opportunistic hero's sword. But Damien didn't survive the past six centuries by playing by the rules. His retirement plans involve running. Running from his country, his continent, and his very universe to escape Fate's long reach. And what better place to run to in an attempt to live peacefully than the utopian land of Equestria?

Since I've had a number of comments on this I figure I should clear it up here. This is not a crossover witht he overlord game series. Note the lack of a crossover tag.

He was an outcast of a previous society. His family, friends, and everything he knew was...gone. And everypony blamed him for it. He was kicked out, and abandoned. Before he left, he left one last surprise as a thing of revenge. Before he knew it, they were all dead.

He then arrived in Equestria, more specifically, Ponyville. He wanted to make a new life. It seemed everypony cared, but one stood out to him. This one, beautiful, mare. Her name of course, was Twilight Sparkle.

Meanwhile, the Templar are moving toward Equestria, and a big war is about to happen. Tranquilius must reveal his identity before it is too late, but will Twilight accept him for who he actually is, a professional killer?

A single changeling is blamed for making Chrysalis' plan to take over Equestria fail. He's banished and thrown out of the hive, ending up somewhere far away.

Luckily, he ends up not too far from a certain well-known village, where he can feed to his heart's content.

Needless to say, not everything goes according to plan.

The last thing you remember was being blown out a hole in the side of a crashing star cruiser, catching fire in the upper atmosphere and falling to your death upon an alien world below, yet there you are, whole and mostly unscathed and without a clue how you got there. But just because you survived the crash, it doesn't mean you're anywhere near out of the woods yet. With nothing but your power armor, rifle and wits to guide you, can you survive the depths of the swamps and forests of Everfree? And even if so, what about beyond?

HELL YES. I needed a fresher start, so here we go. Constellations. The "sex" tab doesn't really apply to the story, except for one part basically "hinting" sex. With thanks to... a lot of people... for helping me make this sort of "story" even though it wasn't what I thought it would turn out. This is basically the sequel to Shoot for the Stars, and will continue until further notice.

The year is 2027, and the world as we know it is torn apart by war between Russia and the United States of America.

Join Andrei Solovyov, a Russian physicist, as he wakes his final day as a citizen of Earth, and as he meets somebody who he would have never expected.
